Description
Positivity doesn't come naturally to me. My first reaction to something or my thoughts on most things is naturally negative. This, obviously, isn't how you live a happy life so I decided I'd try and fix this particular thing about me. And after many years (and many setbacks) I'm glad to say that I'm relatively good at quieting that voice in my head that says I'm not good enough or that my dreams will never come true. I think everyone has that voice, just some of us work hard to learn how to silence that voice. And every time you do it gets a little bit easier.

For this, I wanted to have it be a warm color scheme but I didn't want it to be super saturated as some of my other pieces can be. I tend to have a few set color schemes that lean toward when I'm doing my work and that's not a good thing. To grow as an artist you have to be willing to go outside your comfort zone and I think I did that with the colors here.

Also, the look of the monster's face came to me from something written by A.A. Attanasio which said, "Now his scar-split mask fills the world and each one of us is one of his victims."
